Following the partition of Armenia by the [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] and [[Sasanian Empire|Sasanian]] empires in 387 and in 428, Erebuni and the entire territory of Eastern Armenia came under the rule of Sasanian Persia.<ref>{{cite book|last=Hacikyan|first=Agop Jack|title=The Heritage of Armenian Literature: From the Oral Tradition to the Golden Age|volume=1|year=2000|publisher=Wayne State University Press|location=Detroit|isbn=978-0-8143-2815-6|author-link=Agop Jack Hacikyan|author2=Basmajian, Gabriel|author3=Franchuk, Edward S.|author4=Ouzounian, Nourhan|page=[https://archive.org/details/heritageofarmeni00ajha/page/168 168]|url=https://archive.org/details/heritageofarmeni00ajha/page/168}}</ref> The Armenian territories formed the province of [[Persian Armenia]] within the [[Sasanian Empire]].

Due to the diminished role of Erebuni, as well as the absence of proper historical data, much of the city's history under the Sasanian rule is unknown.{{citation needed|date=March 2023}}

In 587, during the reign of [[Maurice (emperor)|emperor Maurice]], Yerevan and much of Armenia came under Roman administration after the Romans defeated the [[Sassanid Empire|Sassanid Persian Empire]] at the [[battle of the Blarathon]].{{citation needed|date=March 2023}} Soon after, [[Katoghike Tsiranavor Church of Avan|Katoghike Tsiranavor Church]] in [[Avan district|Avan]] was built between 595 and 602. Despite being partly damaged during the [[1679 Armenia earthquake|1679 earthquake]]), it is the oldest surviving church within modern Yerevan city limits.{{citation needed|date=March 2023}}

The province of Persian Armenia (also known as Persarmenia) lasted until 646, when the province was dissolved with the [[Muslim conquest of Persia]].
